However, Sports City does not guarantee quality of play. League alignments, times and days of game may vary from session to session in an attempt to balance leagues. Schedules will be issued at the first game. Teams requesting a rescheduled game must give 10 days notice and pay the reschedule fee (Reschedule Form). See league and player information for more detailed information.

GAME SCHEDULE AND RESCHEDULE POLICY

Sports City assigns game days for each division and gives you the opportunity to notify us (in writing on the registration form) of a date conflict. However, we need to reiterate that there are NO GUARANTEES. We will do our best to accommodate schedule requests but when other factors such as field availability, holidays and other team requests need to be considered, it’s impossible to accommodate every team.

Any reschedule request inside a 10 day window shall not be considered. Team will have to decide to play short handed or pay the forfeit fee to Sports City if they cannot field a team. The forfeit fee goes to the opposing team for their loss of a game.

During the winter sessions rescheduled games will take place on Field #2 only.

The reschedule fee is $50.

If you wish to reschedule a game please contact us at info@playsportscity.com or 707-526-2884.
